Freeway Rick Ross Launches NFT Collection and Interactive Fan Experience

Boxing Advisor and Former Drug Kingpin, "Freeway" Rick Ross is once Again Breaking New Ground with a First of it’s Kind NFT Collection and Interactive Fan Experience

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 2, 2022) – Boxing advisor and former drug kingpin, "Freeway" Rick Ross is once again breaking new ground with a first of its kind NFT Collection - one focused on providing an interactive fan experience.

Ross, who has been featured on major media outlets such as the Joe Rogan Experience and VladTV, has seen his NFTs have enormous success. A major focus of the NFTs is on providing unique access and direct engagement opportunities for fans.

"I am lucky to be in the position to offer inspiration to a wide range of people and show that a second chance at life is possible, and to tell my story in various ways so others can learn from it," said Ross. "NFTs and crypto in general are so new, it feels like the birth of the internet or even the birth of hip-hop and is an exciting new frontier."

Project holders access the collection by purchasing a 3D NFT Key that unlocks the collection and gives access to Rick’s autobiography while also qualifying them for bonus content and future NFT airdrops. Future airdrops include an audiobook - narrated by the author himself - as well as subsequent NFT images including a metaverse-ready avatar of Rick and ones focusing on his life accomplishments. Uniquely, the NFT key also gives fans access to exclusive events such as virtual book signings.

As if that was not enough, additional key holders have the opportunity to win prizes, such as signed t-shirts, hardcover books, a possible invite to Rick’s upcoming movie premiere, and boxing credentials and courtside tickets. Rick is also looking to continue providing holders exciting perks and access to future events.

Ross recently started Team Freeway Boxing, with fighters Nafear Charles, VeShawn Champion, Erick Kedar Gianous, Alvin Varmall Jr., and former contender Anthony Peterson. Ross has had a dream to enter boxing ever since meeting Don King, and now is entering the market, along with the NFT field as well.

"The NFT market offers a new way for us to offer various types of opportunities in the future," continued Ross. "The positive feedback early on, shows that not just my story is of interest, but that using NFTs are in high demand, and people want to consume and collect content as NFTs."

The initial launch was January 29th and can still be purchased by visiting the Rick Ross Collection on OpenSea.
